Born in Plymouth(England, George Samuel Newth (1851-1936) was the son and one of four children of Dr the Rev Samuel Newth, a noted Biblical scholar, mathematician and president of New College, London. This book (one of his 5 books published by Longman, Green & Company of London, England) first appeared in 1906 and is an abridged version of an earlier text of his 'A Manual of Chemical Analysis'.Not that easy to find these days, particularly in good condition, but copies do come up for sale now and then. His other books were 'Chemical Lecture Experiments' published 1892,'Inorganic Chemistry' (the most popular and remembered) first published in 1894 and which was reprinted many times (with author updates to 1923), the final version appearing in 1940. Old copies can be found for sale quite reasonably priced from internet book suppliers. Other books he published were 'A Manual of Chemical Analysis - Qualitative and Quantitative' in 1898 and 'Elementary Practical Chemistry' published about 1904 which was for school chemistry classes. This book was called 'Elementary Inorganic Chemistry' when sold in the USA. An American, George D Timmons published a book called 'Questions & Answers on Newth's Inorganic Chemistry' in 1912, which is hard to find outside of the British Library. Newth also had a number of papers published. For example: "An apparatus for showing experiments with ozone. GS Newth Journal of the Chemical Society, Transactions 69, 1298-1299, Royal Society of Chemistry, 1896."
George Samuel Newth was also in his youth a keen cyclist and his name appears in a copy of a US cycle magazine 'The Wheelman' under 'Wheel News'in 1883 when he challenged a Mr Wilson to a race to a race. His wife was Margaret Newth and there is no record of any children. His name and address details can be had from UK Census records etc. Newth was a demonstrator in Chemistry at The Royal College of Science in London (now Imperial College)from the 1880s up to about 1910. He worked with another noted chemist, Frankland. Newth's books are well worth buying and a fascinating insight into late Victorian chemistry for schools and colleges and he was in many ways ahead of his time. Newth died in Hythe, Kent, England in 1936.
